Formulation and drug delivery research theme School of Pharmacy, the University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Representative areas 1. Targeting chemotherapeutics direct to tumours using nano-sized carriers to increase effect and reduce side effects. 2. Using drug delivery science to overcome hurdles in the drug discovery pipeline, including poor solubility, poor bioavailability, non-specificity and rapid metabolism. 3. Developing implantable delivery systems which can release a drug over days to months and localise treatment to desired sites in the body. 4. Using cutting-edge delivery technologies to deliver drugs across the blood brain barrier (BBB). 5. Provision of services to commercial partners, developing custom carrier systems for cosmetic and nutraceutical science industries.
